TABLE OF CONTENTS

As you prepare for the arrival of your baby, one of the first and most important decisions you may need to make is choosing to save your baby’s cord blood.

Today, diseases including certain cancers and blood disorders may be treated with hematopoietic stem cells that can be found in cord blood. A recent study reported that as many as 1 in 217 individuals may need a stem cell transplant in their lifetime.*

That is why saving your baby’s cord blood could be a lifesaving decision for your little one and your family. Find out more about cord blood banking with Cordlife today.

• Umbilical Cord is a tube-like structure that connects the fetus to placenta, providing nutrients and removing waste.

• The umbilical cord contains cord blood, Wharton’s Jelly, umbilical arteries and an umbilical vein. The components are protected by a sheet-like membrane known as the cord lining.

Three main types of stem cells can be found in the umbilical cord:

• Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)• Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) • Epithelial Stem Cells (EpSCs)

The stem cells in the umbilical cord are the youngest and inherently valuable cells that have the potential to keep your baby protected for the years to come.

Cord blood is a rich source of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs), which are responsible for replenishing blood and regenerating the immune system. HSCs are known as ‘precursor cells’, as they have the unique ability to differentiate into the different types of cells found in the body, namely:

• Red Blood Cells - transport oxygen• White Blood Cells - produce antibodies and fight infections• Platelets - assist in blood clotting

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells which can differentiate into various types of specialized cells (i.e. bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, etc.).

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) • Assist in repair• Reduce inflammation• Divide into other tissues, such as neural tissue, under induction

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) also possess immunomodulatory properties. They can be used to promote engraftment for cord blood transplants and hence increase the success rate of blood (hematopoietic) stem cell transplants.

Justin (alias) was diagnosed with a common childhood cancer, neuroblastoma, at a tender age of one and half years old. Over the course of 1 year, the child had to endure numerous rounds of high-dose chemotherapy to treat his condition. Chemotherapy destroyed cancer cells, but at the same time also killed normal cells.

Fortunately, Justin’s parents had his cord blood stored at birth with Cordlife. The cord blood stem cells were infused back to his body after a course of chemotherapy in January 2011 at Queen Mary Hospital and he was discharged from hospital after 3 months. The cord blood unit used had been cryopreserved in Cordlife Hong Kong facility for 29 months. Cordlife is very proud to achieve this milestone in the cord blood banking industry in Hong Kong.

Moinam was diagnosed with Thalassemia when he was barely one year old. If left untreated, most of the children inflicted with this disorder do not live beyond the age of 10. Fortuitously, his newborn sister was free from Thalassemia and her cord blood stem cells were a perfect match for Moinam, with small amount of bone marrow to supplement

the transplant, Moinam is now in his recovery phase and the results from his blood is very heartening.

CORDLIFE’S SUCCESS STORIES

"We decided to use a mixture of bone marrow and cord blood cells as it has a better and faster chance of success than only bone marrow cells. Bone marrow stem cells, on the other hand, could lead to Graft Versus Host Disease, triggered by the body's defense mechanism while the transfusion is being done. Not only increase the stem cell count, but also reduce the chance of any complications. It is the treatment of choice in such cases and leads to a complete cure," explained Dr Mukherjee, Medical Director of NetajiSubhash Chandra Bose Cancer Research Institut.

An accident at birth 2.5 years ago deprived Baby Georgia of oxygen to her brain, resulted in cerebral palsy. The damage to the toddler's brain caused her to move involuntarily, suffer from muscle spasms and have up to 50 seizures a day. It was only after Cordlife put the family in touch with a renowned neurosurgeon that enable Georgia to be

infused with her own cord blood, also stored by Cordlife. Her conditions have improved since then.

"Georgia has made good progress since her stem cell infusion. She has better visual focus and eye contact with adults during play. She has more vocalization and tries to 'sing-a-song' by making different sounds to nursery rhymes. Georgia has improved postural and head control and is observed to be reaching more with her arms," said Ms. Jaclyn Tan, Consultant Occupational Therapist at OzWorks Therapy.

“This is my family.

I will do everything in my power para maalagaan sila ng maayos, to provide for them, to spoil them, and to give them an advantage sa future.

I will save and invest all my money for them. I will take care of myself better para mabantayan ko sila hanggang sa pagtanda ko. I will behave and not do anything stupid, I will work harder, and spend as much time with them as possible.

Kumuha din ako ng cordlife para sa anak ko. Mga 8k a year lang yun, chong. Google nyo. Sobrang solid yun. Para kahit paano mas kampante ako sa health ng anak ko sa future.

Parang spare tire lang yan eh. Ayaw mo syempre na ma-flatan ka, pero at least kampante ka na may reserba ka...just in case. Hindi yung maghahanap ka lang ng reserba kung kelan flat na yung gulong mo.

Anyway, tulog ngayon ang mag-ina ko. Sarap ng tulog nila pareho. Both of them, safe and healthy.”

“As a mother, I strongly recommend cord blood banking to other parents. It is a health insurance that is safe, painless, and non-disruptive to your birth plan.”

“Banking Primo's cord blood and lining was a no brainer! Who knows who might need his stem cells! He just might end up being his Lola's hero or maybe even mine one day”

“My heart was broken in a million pieces when I found out that my first born was stricken with Leukemia at 2 years old. When almost all hope is gone, his pedia-oncologist recommended stem cells to help treat his illness. I recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl and through the help of Cordlife Cares Program, we were able to store the stem cells from her umbilical cord blood. Now we have a ready source of stem cells for her older brother! In the midst of all our worries and fears, Cordlife gave us hope that we can conquer the big C. I consider it as the wisest decision a parent could ever have, like getting a life security blanket to keep the family safe and warm in time of need.”

“Wala kaming medical history ng leukemia—just diabetes in the family, but alam naman namin na along the way madami pang mga research and findings, so kumuha kami ng Cordlife tapos ayun, na-lessen yung worry ko for my kids’ health kasi may hope if ever may mangyari.”

“I’m a first-time mom to six-month old triplets. I asked my OB-Gyne about cord blood banking even before I got pregnant to ensure that we are on the same page. I believe having a doctor who is very knowledgeable about cord blood banking plays a vital role in making the journey to motherhood smooth and worry-free. I can say that I’m in good hands, have peace of mind and am now a proud Cordlife mom.”
